Prof. Leigh in Edinburgh was able to catch up with two very old and cherished friends: Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott. Both as seen at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

What can have taken Prof. Leigh to the home of Lodge No. 1 in Edinburgh on Saturday, the oldest active masonic lodge in the world? It was a thoroughly enjoyable seminar run by Lodge Sir Robert Moray 1641 on masonic history. They could not have been more welcoming to this academic outsider.

The Museo del Novecento in Milan has a display of the most delightful busts by Marino Marini (1901-80). Definitely something of late-Republican verismo about them. A highlight of our visit last week.

Snow googles like these were worn to protect the eyes from the glare of the sun on snow. They won't protect your eyes during a solar eclipse. If you're excited to see the solar eclipse, today remember to never look directly at the Sun without specialised eye protection.

Chemical dilemmas. Lean into automation and AI or continue to teach practical skills such as gas chromatography by hand as well? Or, in the wake of Chemistry closures, is the existential question one of teaching/having access to the subject at all?

timeshighereducation.com

Is chemistry teaching over-reliant on technology?

Expert fears students are too often passively observing vital processes without gaining practical understanding but others say discipline should lean in to modern approaches
